Day 4 Chemotherapy

Wow, another day down! That means we're 80% finished with chemotherapy cycle 2. Hard to believe it's almost been two months since this whole ordeal began. I hope that time flies this quickly for the rest of the year.

I am happy to report Kavan felt well again today. It seems that the nasty side effects he experienced with the last cycle of chemotherapy are not appearing with this cycle. Again, something I never thought I'd be thankful for. He occasionally feels some nausea and "haziness" but these seem to be both fleeting feelings.

Today we managed to go swimming after Kavan's chemotherapy finished for the day. At the moment I can barely keep my eyes open, I truly do not know how he does it. We brought along Kavan's nephew, Patrick. I adore Patrick and the energy he CONSTANTLY has. He makes an activity such as swimming seem so fresh and exciting. I think Patrick's energy is a positive for Kavan as it's hard to feel down with such a bright soul around.

Tomorrow will mark the end of cycle 2. I cannot wait! We have a busy weekend planned and next week Kavan starts his new job! I want to thank everyone who has been following our blog, I know Kavan appreciates your support immensely. Please continue to comment and share his story with others as I know the support motivates him. More to follow....

    Hey there I know your going through a lot but keep your head up and stay strong. Your blog is truly inspiring and makes me realize the struggle that people who are in the similar situation as you are facing but keep their chins up and keep smiling. Each day I pray it gets easier for you and your family/ friends. Whatever happens I wish you the best. You truly are one in a million. Stay strong :)
